**Update, Aug. 9:** A conflict between vehicle occupants and a pedestrian in a Berkeley crosswalk led to what police are calling a road-rage shooting Tuesday night.

The incident began just after 6 p.m. when a pedestrian on San Pablo Avenue was in the crosswalk at Camelia Street, [Berkeley police](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/topic/berkeley-police-department/) said.

Police say a driver, in a red Nissan Versa, failed to stop for the pedestrian who then kicked the car. 

The pedestrian walked to a nearby business and the driver parked nearby, police said.

There were five men in the Nissan, and several of them got out and confronted the pedestrian and someone else at the business, police said.

"After a verbal exchange, the occupants returned to their vehicle and drove by the front of the business," according to a statement from BPD. "An occupant in the car fired several rounds from a gun toward the occupied business."

No one was hurt, police said, but the business — a local auto repair shop on Camelia between 10th Street and San Pablo — was damaged by gunfire.

The Nissan was gone when police arrived. 

Camelia was closed for about an hour during the investigation but was open by about 7 p.m. Tuesday.

No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
